Mrs. PS is found to have a fracture of her right hip joint and it is decided that she will have an operation to replace her joint. She is admitted to an orthopaedic ward and two days later she has the operation and returns to the ward for a few days recuperation and mobilisation with physiotherapy support. As part of preparing her for discharge, she is visited by the ward pharmacist who uses the PREVENT tool to see if any extra support is required. ‘R’ in the PREVENT tool is ‘Risk from specific meds/med-related admissions’. List TWO examples of classes of high-risk medicines included in this section of the tool. What other TWO areas are mentioned under ‘R’ to minimise risk from medicines? (3 marks)
